I just looked at the github branch, and I didn't see any commits after
March 16, especially none of the fixes you mentioned? Did you forget to
git push?

Easy:
- Fork the hedge repo on github.
- Push your work into a branch of that.
- Navigate to that branch on the github website.
- Click "create pull request".
- Done.

Sounds good.

Git's the easiest for me. A pull request on github would be really
convenient, but it's up to you if you'd like to be that high-tech.

Do try to make that hack into a legitimate option. Someone else
complained to me recently that they much preferred boundary taggers over
using gmsh to specify BCs.

I see--we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

As long as you're aware that this is just the element-wise polynomial
derivative, then that's correct. A real weak derivative would include
interface terms, too. See hedge.models.nd_calculus for examples.

Never thought about what word to use--I guess so. :)

That looks like it should work. Can you provide the full backtrace?

If you'd like to match the scheme in the paper exactly, the safest bet
is to not use the abstract, high-level second-order operators. If you
decide to use them anyway, print the resulting optemplate (using
hedge.optemplate.tools.pretty_print_optemplate) and make sure you got
what you wanted.
If you decide to not go that route, getting the gradient of the
displacement into the flux operator is easy. Suppose you've got a flux
operator invocation somewhere along the lines of
get_flux_operator(flux)(state_vector)
and wherever you built 'flux', you started from a placeholder matching
the length of 'state_vector':
w = FluxVectorPlaceholder(7) # or whatever
Then to pass an extra bit of data (in your case, the gradient) into the
flux, just change these two to:
get_flux_operator(flux)(join_fields(state_vector, my_gradient))
and
w = FluxVectorPlaceholder(7+dim)
where dim is the length of the gradient.
Hope that helps,

Interior Penalty for Solid Mechanics
by Felipe Hernandez
Hi,
I'm new to hedge, and I'm trying to implement an interior penalty method for solid mechanics. (The DG formulation I'm using is available in the paper "An explicit discontinuous Galerkin method for non-linear solid dynamics: Formulation, parallel implementation and scalability properties" by Noels, Radovitzky.)
I think the more "direct" way to implement this is to use the IPDGSecondDerivative scheme, take the gradient of the displacement, and then take the divergence of the stress computed from that displacement. I'm having trouble implementing this properly though. This method also wouldn't include (I'd think) the stabilization term using the tangent elastic moduli as described in the paper. The other option I thought of would be to directly implement the flux terms, but the problem I'm having with that is I don't know how to get the gradient of the displacement field in the flux operator.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
